4 M'MA c. 7- /f? u?? PAINTINGS FROM NEW YORK PRIVATE COLLECTIONS In the seventeen years since it was founded, the Museum of Modern Art has held in New York three hundred and twenty -five exhibitions, most of which would not have been possible without the constant helpfulness and good will of indi vidual private collectors who have always been happy to share the enjoyment of their collections with others. Until now the Museum has always made its own selection of the works borrowed. In the case of the present exhibition, however, this procedure has been reversed: the collectors were asked to send us the paintings from which they them selves had derived the greatest pleasure. The role played by private collectors in the development of modern art can never be overestimated. It is they who try out new art forms and discover whether they are rewarding or not. They love and believe in the works of art they own, and naturally they want others to delight in them as they do. When there are many collectors, and their taste is various and their esthetic judgment far-sighted, so as to correspond to the number and originality of the artists of their time, then a civilization is most likely to produce its characteristic expression in art. In presenting this exhibition, which is the first of a series, the Museum of Modern Art wishes to express its sincere appreciation not only of the generosity of the lenders but of the admirable sense of artistic values which their collections manifest.
